Mississippi Flood Hazard Profile
Hazard Data · Model Version 2.5
Overview
Mississippi faces flood hazard from the Mississippi River (the state's western boundary), Pearl River (Jackson metro), and Gulf Coast storm surge. The 2019 and 2020 Pearl River flood events demonstrated the vulnerability of the Jackson metro area. FEMA NFIP repetitive loss data shows high claim density in coastal and river-adjacent counties.

Hazard Scoring Approach
Calchis computes a Calchis Hazard Score (0–10) for flood hazard at any US address. The score is composed of weighted sub-components derived from federal data sources and published research. All score components are transparent and returned in API responses.
These are hazard scores — physical intensity likelihood only. They do not include property exposure or vulnerability data. We never call a hazard score a risk score. See the full methodology for scoring details.
